True Love Lyrics – Kanye West ft. XXXTENTACION
True Love Lyrics
[Chorus: XXXTENTACION]
True love shouldn't be this complicated
Thought I'd die in your arms
I thought I'd die in your—
True love shouldn't be this complicated
Thought I'd die in your arms
I thought I'd die in your—
[Verse: Kanye West]
No hard feelings but these feelings harder
When I think about it, my eyes fill up with water
Don't have our daughters butterfly while they larvae
Wait, when you see the kids? I'll see y'all tomorrow
Wait, when the sunset? I see y'all tomorrow
Wait, when I pick 'em up, I feel like they borrowed
When I gotta return them, scan 'em like a bar code
Wait, no hard feelings, but thesе feelings hard though
Wait, who got the kids in those "What are thosе?"
Wait, why they can't wear Yeezys with the cargos?
Y’all know Nike don't like me
Y'all take it too far, though
At least have 'em in some Mike's, he played for Chicago
I only seen three kids, who watching Chicago?
And you know all the nannies said, "Daddy in Nebrasko"
Let the kids dig a tunnel to my house like Chapo
Only neighbor in the hood with a door they can knock on
I leave the light on
[Chorus: XXXTENTACION & Kanye West]
True love (Daddy's not gone)
Shouldn't be this complicated
(You see the light on)
Thought I'd die in your arms (Daddy's at home)
I thought I'd die in your— (Tell Gekyume)
True love (Daddy's not gone)
Shouldn't be this complicated (Tell Gekyume)
Thought I'd die in your arms (Daddy's at home)
I thought I'd die in your—
[Bridge: XXXTENTACION]
Oh, woah, oh, woah, oh, woah
Oh, woah, oh, woah, oh, woah (Love)
Oh, woah, oh, woah, oh, woah
Oh, woah, oh, woah, oh, woah
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus: XXXTENTACION]
True love shouldn't be this complicated
Thought I'd die in your arms
I thought I'd die in your—
True love shouldn't be this complicated
Thought I'd die in your arms
I thought I'd die in your—
[Outro: XXXTENTACION]
Oh, woah, oh, woah, oh, woah
Oh, woah, oh, woah, oh, woah (Love)
Oh, woah, oh, woah, oh, woah
Oh, woah, oh, woah, oh, woah
True Love Lyrics Meaning
[Chorus]
In this chorus, XXXTENTACION expresses the idea that true love should not be complicated. He had hoped to experience such a deep connection with someone that he would be willing to give his life for them. The phrase "die in your arms" is a metaphor for an intense emotional bond.
[Verse]
Kanye West's verse touches on his personal experiences and concerns related to his family and children. He acknowledges that despite having no hard feelings, the emotions he feels are stronger and more intense. He mentions his daughters, using the metaphor of butterflies in different stages of development (from larvae to fully formed), suggesting that he wants to protect them and ensure their growth and well-being.
Kanye talks about the challenges of co-parenting and the logistics of spending time with his children. He asks when he will see them, referring to a future meeting, and expresses the desire to be present in their lives. He feels a sense of detachment when he has to return them, comparing the process to scanning a bar code. He desires a more seamless connection with his children.
There is also a mention of his footwear brand, Yeezy, and the contrasting relationship he has with Nike. Kanye suggests that his children should be able to wear Yeezys with their cargos (pants), but there may be restrictions or disagreements about it. He highlights his connection to Chicago, where he is from, and mentions the basketball player Michael Jordan (Mike), who played for the Chicago Bulls. He expresses disappointment that his children can't wear his brand's shoes in certain situations.
Kanye reflects on his limited experiences with his children, mentioning that he has only seen three of them. He questions who is taking care of them in his absence, making a playful reference to the popular internet meme "What are those?" He also mentions the presence of nannies, who inform his children that their "daddy is in Nebrasko" (possibly a misspelling of Nebraska). He humorously suggests that the kids could dig a tunnel to his house like Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, a Mexican drug lord known for his prison escapes.
The verse concludes with Kanye highlighting his accessibility as a neighbor. He points out that he is the only neighbor in the hood (neighborhood) with a door that people can knock on, metaphorically symbolizing his availability and willingness to be present for his children. He mentions leaving the light on as a symbol of his constant presence.
[Chorus]
In the chorus, XXXTENTACION and Kanye West come together to reinforce the idea that true love shouldn't be complicated. They mention the phrase "Daddy's not gone" to emphasize their presence and commitment. They make a reference to "the light on," indicating their availability and openness. The mention of "Gekyume" is likely a reference to XXXTENTACION's son, who was born after the artist's passing. They express the hope that their love and presence will be felt and recognized.
[Bridge]
The bridge consists of repeated vocalizations, adding an emotional and melodic layer to the song without conveying specific lyrics. It serves as a transition between sections.
[Chorus]
The final chorus reiterates the theme that true love should not be complicated. The artists express their desire to experience deep emotional connection, hoping to be embraced by love.
[Outro]
The outro consists of repeated vocalizations similar to the bridge, adding an emotional touch to the conclusion of the song.
